Nepal Earthquake
Already relief agencies are scrambling to get needed supplies, including food, water, shelter, and medical aid, into the country.
Here are several organizations active in the area you can support:
America Nepal Medical Foundation: “The American Nepal Medical Foundation is a 501©(3) non-profit membership organization incorporated in the state of New York.” Their mission states, in part, “It is the firm belief of the foundation that as with the problems in any other field, the primary responsibility of resolving Nepal’s health problems lies with the Nepali people including medical professionals. There can be no substitute for their own commitment and action in Nepal. However, as a U.S. based nonprofit organization, the foundation is committed to supporting the Nepali people’s ongoing efforts to enhance their health status. ANMF will focus on improving the quality of medical care, medical education and medical research in Nepal.” Donate Now
